Touring the Sites of Old Town Rhodes | Clock Tower | Colossal Statue Site | Street of the Knights
Before we sailed on this Royal Caribbean Greek cruise, the stop in Rhodes was the one we knew least about and didn't care much for. But now that it's over, Rhodes was our favorite stop and the one we wish there was more time to spend on land.
This video starts with docking in the Port of Rhodes. We walked from the ship to the walled city of Rhodes around 8am. The city was pretty quiet and most shops had not yet opened. But we walked the streets and got a chance to see most places crowd-less, which turned out to be a great idea since 3 hours later, those same locations were filled with tourists.
Our real first stop was Socratous Garden, an outdoor cafe in old town Rhodes which is worth a visit and a meal. The crepe was spot on and the coffee's were good.
Then we stopped by the Suleman Mosque and the Hafiz Ahmed Agha Library for some great pictures you can see on Instagram (@SierrasTravel)
Across the street from the Mosque is the Medieval Clock Tower Roloi, which is the tallest structure in Old Town Rhodes and one you can climb. So we bought a 5 Euro ticket and climbed to the top. They also offer a free drink from the bar as part of the 5 Euro ticket.
Then we walked the Street of the Knights toward the Palace of the Grand Masters. Our tour of the Palace of the Grand Masters will be in a separate video that will be linked here:
We walked back and out of old town through the Freedom Gate and headed north toward the Mandraki Port. A lot of shops and restaurants line the street Pl. Eleftherias, which is the steet we walked along. A great idea to spend some time if you are in Rhodes for an extended period.
As we walked, we saw the Rhodes Windmills, boats to Lindos and harbour cruises, the Fort of St. Nicholas, Hirschkuh Statue and the site where the Colossus of Rhodes once stood. So quite a lot in a short distance. All worthy of photos.
In the interest of your time, we end the video here at around 13 min and continue with Part 2 to cover the rest of Rhodes. The link to Part 2 is here -

Old town of Rhodes, largest Greek Island.
Rhodes is the principal city and a former municipaity on the island of Rhodes an island in the Dodecanese, Greece. Rhodes has been inhabited since the stone age. In prehistoric time the island was inhabited by Cretans, who were the first settlers on the island. There are roughly 200 streets and lanes that simply have no name. Whenever you feel the need to find your bearings, you can ask for Sokralous, which is the closest the old town of Rhodes comes to having a main street
The population of the island exceeds 110,000 and it covers an area of 1,398 square kilometres. It is one of the largest and most beautiful greek islands.
When you approach the walls of the old town, you are about to enter the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe.
With its Frankish and Ottoman buildings the old town is an important ensemble of traditional human settlement.
The Roloi clock tower is a byzantine structure that was originally built at the end of the 7th century and has under gone several rebirth since. It is now a piece of history where you can enjoy the beautiful views of Rhodes

Что посмотреть на острове Родос за один день? Такой вопрос возник во время отдыха в Мармарисе. Остров Родос рядом, паром ходит несколько раз в день, а если плыть одним днём(утром туда, вечером назад), то ещё и билеты дешевле.
Паром прибывает в порт Мандраки города Родос, где и расположены основные достопримечательности. Гавань Мандраки достойна отдельного обзора. Но отзыв про Родос, поэтому упоминаем про Колосса Родосского, Ветряные Мельницы(Rhodes Windmills) и Форт Святого Николая(Fort of St. Nicholas) расположенные в гавани и направляемся в Старый Город Родос через ворота Святого Павла(Saint Paul's Gate). За которыми можно посмотреть на руины башни Наиллак(Naillac Tower) снова выйти из замка, чтобы попасть в него через Морские Ворота(Marina Gate). За Морскими Воротами Родоса нас встречает Улица Рыцарей(Street of the Knights of Rhodes), Адмиралтейство рыцарей, Дворец Великих Магистров(Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes) и множество разнообразных руин, а также живописные улочки, кафешки и ресторанчики. Обо всем по порядку смотрите в обзоре города Родос.
